The context of <a href="/psalms/60.htm">Psalm 60</a> is a national lament, likely during a time of military defeat or distress. The psalmist acknowledges that human strength alone is insufficient without God's intervention. This reflects the broader biblical theme that true courage and success come from reliance on God (see <a href="/joshua/1-9.htm">Joshua 1:9</a>, where God commands Joshua to be strong and courageous because the Lord is with him). The phrase also echoes the sentiment found in <a href="/philippians/4-13.htm">Philippians 4:13</a>, where Paul states, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," highlighting the belief that divine empowerment is crucial for overcoming challenges.<p><b>and He will trample our enemies</b><br>This part of the verse conveys the assurance of God's ultimate victory over adversaries. The imagery of trampling suggests a decisive and overwhelming defeat, reminiscent of God's promises to Israel regarding their enemies (as seen in <a href="/deuteronomy/33-27.htm">Deuteronomy 33:27</a>, where God is described as driving out the enemy before Israel). Historically, this reflects the numerous battles Israel faced against surrounding nations, where victory was often attributed to God's intervention (e.g., the defeat of the Amalekites in <a href="/exodus/17-8.htm">Exodus 17:8-16</a>). Theologically, this can be seen as a type of Christ's ultimate victory over sin and death, as prophesied in <a href="/genesis/3-15.htm">Genesis 3:15</a>, where the seed of the woman will crush the serpent's head. This victory is fulfilled in the New Testament through Jesus' death and resurrection, which defeats the ultimate enemies of sin and death (<a href="/1_corinthians/15-54.htm">1 Corinthians 15:54-57</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/60.htm">Psalm 60</a>, David was the king of Israel and a man after God's own heart.
